CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN ENGLAND. GRAVE MISSTATEMENTS REFUTED. (In a recent issue of the Dresdner A .zeiger we were astonish ed to read a paragraph purporting to give tacts in regard to cor poral and other punishment in England. It was stated that flogg ing was prevalent in the British Army, even officers being liable. A further allegation was to the efiect that debtors in England were liable to imprisonment for life. We accordingly sent the paragraph to. an English solicitor in Berlin with a request that lie would favour us with his views on the matter. The a tide which he has kindly written proves that the Anzeiger's report was entirely misleading and unfounded. We trust that our Dres den contemporary will sec fit to correct its statements, and we must express our surprise that a reputable journal should circu late such absurd stories,—Ed., Dotty: JR&amLl In the Dresdner Anzeiger, No. 109, of the 21st of April, 1910, there appears a paragraph referring to the sentence recently passed by a bench of magis trates in England on a boy of 12 years of age, who for stealing coals was sentenced to receive six strokes with a birch rod and to be sent for seven years to a (reformatory. The writer of the paragraph states that this sentence has created a profound sensation not, only m England but in the whole civilized world. He then proceeds to make observations as to flogj- ging in the English Army and ends up. by making the astounding, statement that a debtor in England who cannot pay his ‘debts may, under certain cir cumstances, have to spend the remainder of his days in prison. As to the sentence passed on the boy I may state that, apart from a few sentimental members of Parliament having asked questions in the House of Commons as to the justification of the punish ment, no sensation has been created in England at all, or, so far as I am aware, elsewhere. The magistrates Were, in my opinion, perfectly justified in inflicting the punishment they did, as it is expressly provided by the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 s. 10 Children Act 1908 s. 102-(I.) that when a child is a male the court may, either in ad dition to or instead of any other punishment, ad,- judge the child to be, as soon as practicable, pri vately whipped, with not. more than six strokes, of a birch rod by a constable, in the presence of an inspector or other officer of police of higher rank than a constable, and also in the presence, if he desires to be present, of the parent or guardian of the child. The whipping that was thus ordered is about the same whipping many lads receive at public schools, but with this difference: that it is carried out with a birch rod instead of a cane, by a con stable instead of a schoolmaster, and perhaps a few strokes more are given than the usual number a lad receives for minor insubordination at a public school. The reformatory system in England is an excel- . lent one and the magistrates no doubt have acted for the best in sending the boy to a reformatory school where he will receive a good education, be properly trained, and made fit for the duties and responsibilities of life. Statistics have proved beyond doubt that the reformatories in England have turn ed out lads who have subsequently led honourable and useful lives and made excellent citizens, whereas if they had not been sent to these places they would in all probability have developed into habitual criminals and become a menace to Society. As to flogging in the English Navy and Army it is provided by sec. 53 (II.) of the Naval Discipline Act 29 and 30 Viet. c. 109 that flogging is permitted, except of officers. Petty or non-commisioned officers can be flogged only for mutiny and the maximum sentence is forty-eight lashes. Flogging of persons undier military law for breaches of discipline is now prohibited (44 and 45 Viet. c. 58 s. 44). But it may be inflicted on such persons when in a military prison under sentence (44 and 45 Viet. c. 58 s. 133, 2) and the Military Prison Rules 1899 restrict corporal punish ment to the offence specified in the Act of 1898 and regulate the enquiry to be held before ordering punishment. As to imprisonment for debt, this imprisonment can only take place where default is made by a judgment debtor in payment of any debt or instal ment of any debt due from him in pursuance of any order or judgment, when he has since the date of judgment had means to pay, and then the Court may only commit to prison for a term not exceeding six weeks (Section 5 of the Debtors Act 1869). The commitment to prison, strictly speaking, is not for non-payment of the debt, but for contempt of Court, i.e. for disobeying the ordei of the Court. Henry Happold. NEWS OF THE WORLD. WASHINGTON, Monday.—The National Geo graphical Society informs Commander Peary that the American South Pole Expedition must be abandon ed this year, chiefly on the ground that tne necesr sary financial support has not been forthcoming. Com mander Peary, who arrives in Rome today, was grant ed six months leave of absence by the Navy Depart ment to enable him to fulfil his engagements in Europe. LAKE CHARLES (La.), Monday.—A terrible con flagration raging here has destroyed several hundred buildings, including the City Hall, the Catholic Church, and a monastery. The damage is estimated at two million dollars. No casualties have been re ported as yet. NEW YORK, Monday.—According to advices from Amsterdam (Ohio), thirteen corpses and ten living men been taken from the coalmine in which an ex plosion occurred on Friday. Two miners are still mis sing, and all hope of their safety has now been aban doned. NEW YORK, Monday.—The entire West is in the grip of a cold wave, hard frost and heavy snow|- falls being reported from many centres. Damage is estimated at several million dollars. In many dis tricts the crops have been badly hit, and in the central States the complete destruction of the fruit crop is feared. LONDON, Sunday.—The Foreign Office has receiv ed through the British Ministry at Peking a tele gram despatched by the Consul-General at Chang sha, stating that organised bands in the vicinity are instigating the populace to a new insurrectionary movement. All the foreigners, with one exception, have sought refuge on board two British steamers lying off the port. PARIS, Monday.—Early this morning 404 election results were known. The position of the parties at present is: Republicans 37, Radicals and Radical So cialists 112, Independent Socialists 12, United So cialists 25, Progressives 27, Nationalists 10, and Con servative and Liberals 32. There are still 149 second ary ballots to be taken. The Republicans won eight seats and lost one, the Radicals and Sociali ;t Radi cals gained nine seats and lost 15, the Independent Socialists gained one and lost one, the United Social ists gained six and lost two, the Conservatives and Liberals gained three and lost four, while the Pro gressives won three and tost four. At Cognac the Maire of Eraville, who was acting as an election official, was shot dead by one of the voters, the motive being ascribed to private reasons. It is stat ed' that as far as can be seen at this stage, the respective position of the parties has undergone but slight alteration. At Chambon-Tangerolles the vot ing was accompanied by grave disturbances, the town hall being plundered and set on fire by the rioters. SALONIKA, Monday.—Arnauts yesterday attacked the Turkish posts between Prizrend and Werisso*- witz, the combat developing into a battle as reinforce ments on both sides were hurried up. The Arnauts were finally driven back, but not before both sides had sustained many casualties. At Prizrend great excitement prevails, and! two battalions of infantry have been despatched thither from Wefissowitz. MOSCOW, Sunday.—The Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, widow of the Grand Duke Sergius, was installed as Lady Abbess of the Martha Mary Nunnery of the Sisters of Mercy, founded by her, today. Among those who attended the ceremony was the Princess Henry of Prussia. BELGRADE, Monday.—The very latest news from the scene of the floods shows that far greater dam|- age has been caused than was at first presumed, and it is now estimated at vast sums. The lower part of the town of Kragujevac is completely de stroyed, and numerous families have lost their all. All the villages in the neighbourhood 1 of Kraguje vac are enormously damaged. The winter and spring seeds have been destroyed, with them all prospect of a harvest. Owing to the incessant heavy rain the river Morava has overflowed its banks and is rising steadily, all the villages and fields bordering the river being inundated. The extensive tracts of flat country adjacent to the river present the appear ance of a vast lake. Everywhere buildings have col lapsed on their foundations and numberless cattle perished. The exact number of people who have lost their lives is still uncertain, but it must be appallingly great. The line between Belgrade and Nish, a great highway of international traffic, has been repaired and traffic resumed along it. At places where the water is too deep for the train to pass travellers are transported across in pontoons to other trains. MADRID, Monday.—The foreign report that the Heir Presumptive to the Spanish Throne, King Al fonso’s eldest boy, is a deaf , mute is absolutely false. Some time ago the Premier had occasion to categoric ally deny this statement, which was circulated in a Madrid journal. BRUSSELS, Monday.—The International Exhibition was opened here on Saturday afternoon in presence of the King, the Queen, the diplomatic corps, many State Ministers and members of the Chamber and Senate. The president of the Exhibition committee, Baron Janssen, made a speech of welcome to the guests in Which he recalled the late King Leopold as a monarch who had always dreamed of a Greater Bel gium, and said that the present exhibition was de signed to display the industrial development of all countries. Commerce and industry, today were the standards by which the prowess of nations were guaged. The King replied in a happy speech, stat ing that the international character of the undertaking could not fail to exercise great influence on the cattse of peace. His Majesty and the Queen then carefully inspected the Belgian, British, : French, Italian,'<3er- man, Dutch, and! Spanish sections, and expressed great interest in the exhibits.
